Xero works best when someone looks after it
Xero is a great bit of software. Bank feeds come in by themselves, invoices go out from your phone and you can see your numbers any time. The catch is that Xero only knows what it’s told. Leave the bank feed for a couple of months, guess at a few GST codes, and the reports stop meaning much. We see it all the time, and it’s usually fixable.
Two of our team are Xero certified advisors, and Xero is software we work in every day. We keep their files reconciled and tidy so the reports are worth reading and the BAS is quick to prepare.
What we do in Xero
- Day-to-day bookkeeping. Reconciling the bank feed, coding transactions properly and keeping your contacts clean.
- Invoices and getting paid. Keeping an eye on who owes you and following up overdue accounts.
- BAS. As a Registered BAS Agent we prepare your BAS from Xero and lodge it for you. More on our BAS page.
- Payroll. Most of the payroll we run is in Xero, including Single Touch Payroll and Payday Super. See payroll.
- Management reports. Profit and loss, balance sheet and who owes what, set out so you can actually use them.
- Setup and training. Setting up a new Xero file, or cleaning up an old one, and showing you and your staff how to use it day to day. See software setup.
If you’d rather not deal with Xero’s billing, we can supply your Xero subscription and bill it monthly along with our services.
Why it pays to keep Xero current
When Xero is reconciled every week or two, you know your real cash position, your BAS takes hours instead of days and your accountant gets clean records at the end of the year. It matters more since 1 July 2026, because Payday Super means super now has to be paid with every pay run. If your payroll settings in Xero are wrong, the error repeats every week. We wrote more about this in why Xero matters for compliance in 2026, and about the cost of falling behind in this post on late bookkeeping.
How we work
- A free first chat. We look at how you’re using Xero now and what you want from it.
- A fixed-fee quote. Based on what your business actually needs, not a one-size package.
- A tidy-up if it’s needed. If the file is behind or has problems, we fix that first.
- Ongoing bookkeeping. We keep the books current and keep you in the loop. Regular check-ins to go over the numbers are available depending on your package, or whenever you ask.
In your office or ours
Because Xero lives in the cloud, we can do most of the work from Park Ridge while you watch the numbers update in real time. If you’d rather have us on site, we visit clients across all Brisbane suburbs, from Logan and Park Ridge to the southside and beyond.
Why people choose us for Xero
You get two Xero certified advisors, a Registered BAS Agent and more than 10 years of combined bookkeeping experience in the one small team. We also work in MYOB and QuickBooks Online, which helps if you’re thinking about switching to Xero. And you’ll talk to the same people every time you ring.
Questions we get asked
Can you take over my existing Xero file?
Yes. We’ll go through it, fix what needs fixing and keep it up to date from there. The file and the data stay yours.
Do I need to change my Xero plan?
Usually not. If a different plan would suit you better, say because you’re putting on staff, we’ll explain why. We can also supply the subscription and bill it monthly with our fees if that’s easier.
Do you run payroll in Xero?
Yes, most of our payroll work is in Xero. That includes pay runs, Single Touch Payroll and super under Payday Super. See our payroll page.
Can you teach my staff to use Xero?
Yes. We run Xero training for owners and staff so you can handle the day-to-day bits with confidence.
How much does Xero bookkeeping cost?
It depends on how many transactions you have and what you need done. We’ll give you a fixed-fee quote after the first chat.
